qed: prevent a fw assert during device shutdown
Device firmware can assert if the device shutdown path in driver encounters an async. events from mfw (processed in qed_mcp_handle_events()) after qed_mcp_unload_req() returns. A call to qed_mcp_unload_req() currently marks the device as inactive and thus stops any new events, but there is a windows where in-flight events might still be received by the driver. To prevent this race condition, atomically set QED_MCP_BYPASS_PROC_BIT in qed_mcp_unload_req() to make sure qed_mcp_handle_events() ignores all events. Wait for any event that might already be in-process to complete by monitoring QED_MCP_IN_PROCESSING_BIT.
